Use two dashes instead of an actual em dash. ChatGPT, at least, cannot do the same--it just can't.
Just for the em-dashes? Some humans also use them.
It's not an em-dash, it's an en-dash, which is rare in LLM output. Also just stop being insufferable.
Do you use "emdash" because you love to use it but don't want to be mistaken as AI-generated?
It's the em dash that does it for me
People usually don't type embdash, just use regular dash (minus sign) they have already on the keyboard. ChatGPT uses emdash instead.
Keep using them. Don't let AI steal beautiful em-dashes away from you.
There's an emdash, no human being uses emdashes.
Thank God AI hasn’t figured out proper use of em/en dashes yet, so we still have a shibboleth.
Keep using the em-dash with pride! Don't let the AIs steal such a beautiful thing from us!
